Wendy and Lucy follow Wendy Carroll as she sets out for Alaska with her dog, Lucy, hoping to find work at a cannery and start anew. However, her journey is disrupted when her car breaks down in Oregon. Wendy is forced to confront difficult economic decisions as her financial situation worsens. Navigating the fringes of American life, she and Lucy question the nature of compassion and generosity, exploring the limits of human responsibility in hard times. 

Directed by Kelly Reichardt, a leading voice in American independent cinema, Wendy and Lucy is a striking example of the director's signature minimalist road narratives, often centred on rural America's quiet landscapes and ordinary people's lives. Premiering at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, the film received widespread acclaim, particularly for Michelle Williams' natural and profoundly moving performance.

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
